CORONER, CHARLES 8. BOND. J?en Ultler has come to the conclusion that Cleveland will never get back from the woods, or publish a letter of acceptance, and that it is needless to wait any longer. He will, therefore, publish his own acceptance of the numerous nominations given him, at once.

' . 1 " J - 1 A A State Temperance Union of Kansas, who writes that St. John will not receive 5,000 votes in that State, and that the Prohibitionists are almost unanimously opposed to the third ticket vTnoveruetit. TfiE Democracy are beginning to fear that (J rover Cleveland is lost in the wilderness and that his letter of acceptance will never appear. This is perhaps an unnecessary fright, Grover is only taking time to master a few important points in the political history of Will A. Kearney, a prominent Democratic lawyer of Logansport, a member of the central committee and vice-president of the Cleveland club, publishes a card in the Indianapolis Journal announcing his withdrawal from the Democratic party. The "comeouters"' are getting to be numerous. On e point in proof that Mr. Cleveland is entitled to be called a reform caudidate is the fact that he only charged l,fiT0 for hanging Patrick Morrissev, while he was sheriff of Erie eountv. Later sheriffs of that county have charged but 00, but then they probably didn t do the work as well. The old settlers meeting at Centreville on Saturday last was "a big thing," the attendance being larger perhaps than on any former occasion. Among the speakers were Mr. Bartholomew, of Union City, Elder Howe, of this city, aud Gen. Tom Browne. The speeches were all very interesting, and all present seemed to greatly enjoy the occasion. Ex-Senator McDonald declines to become the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Indianapolis district, saying he thinks Mr. English should so that the Democratic House of Representatives may be vindicated in turning out Mr. Peelle and giving his seat to Mr. English. But the latter fears the vindication wouldn't come and begs i J be excused. It 'doesn't matter who the Democrats may nominate the people of that district mean to vindicate Mr. Teelle. Watterson, of the Courier-Journal, denounces the attempt to defame Mrs. -Blaine as "a senseless and wicked invasion of the home life" of Mr. Blaine. He ars he had years ago investigated the charge, and found nothing that could impeach the virtue of Mrs. Blaine. He adds : "Two wrongs don't make a right, nor are the cases in any wise alike. The one case involves nothing more important than the chastity of a bachelor, and the other the foundation of a family.' The Sentinel is thus condemned by one of - the leading papers of its own party.

There is a great deal of confusio

in the Democratic national platform and Bmeh uncertainty ato the issue tbat party wishes to present to the coun try and npoB which the Democracy hope to regain power. Mr. Hendricks, however, hastened to remove this uncertainty at the first opportunity, and in his opening speech, assured thecoun try the Democratic shiboleth this year would be "a change." He explained the meaning of this was that at least fifty thousand of the present federal officer would be - turned out and an equal number of good Democrats put in their places. This, then, is what the Democrats are fighting for, a change in the officers of the country in short for the spoils. Mr. Hendricks made no specific charges of dishonesty except in a single instance in which he charged irregularities amounting to fraud upon two officers in the medical bureau of the navy department, but as both these officers were Democrats, who had been detected and exposed by Republicans, this instance oould not strengthen' the Democratic claim for "a change" further than to put them out and fill their places with better men, which was then being done. But that was not the change Mr. Hendricks, on behalf of his party, demanded. Mr. Carl Schurz, in a speech four years ago, gives it more explicitly. He says : j t . f It is an almost universally acknowl edged tact that at present the public business is, on the whole, well and hon estly conducted in the government ofhces. JSow, substitute for thi9 the Democratic reform, miking a clean sweep according to the old spoils systjkm en1 nrnat tt ill rin hara'? Illindreds of thousands of politicians, great and small, but all hungry, rushing tor seventy or eighty thousand places, backed and pressed by every Democratic Con gressman and every. Democratic committee in the land. This impetuous rush must be satisfied as rapidly as pos sible, for they want to make the best of their time, and in this case as well as others time is money. It is useless to disguise it; the masses ot office-seekers, starved tor twenty years, will not be turned back as lone as there is a mouth ful on the table. Seventy or eighty thousand officers, selected at random from that multitude of ravenous appli cants, will be put into places held now mostly by men ot tried capacity and experience. " They must be taken at ran dom, for it is impossible to fill so large a number of places in so short a time as the furious demand will permit in any other way. Need I tell any sensible man what the effect upon the conduct of . I 11- 1 . Ml T O T. Ml 1. ine puDiic Dusiness win pet is win ue the disorganization of the whole administrative machinery of the government at one fell blow. Mr, Hendricks now claims to have been the friend of Lincoln during the dark days of the war. The claim is a recent one, and is not supported by any act of Mr. Hendricks at that time. He was then the leader of the Indiana Demoeracjand as such guided, their motion anu. jtterajoo. At the time he now claims to have been the friend and supporter of Lincoln, his party in Indiana was, in public meetings, resolving that "Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, has again outraged the people1 and disgraced the Nation in the . eyes of the world, by spurning the opportunities of peace thrown in his way by distinguished southerners and confidential agents of the Confederates, and by universally and wickedly thrusting before the world, contrary to the constitution, his doctrine of abolitionism as the ultimatum of peace between the sections; also, this position puts a now more dangerous and disgraceful phase upon the war, and we hold him responsible, before God and man, for its further prolongation, and on him rests the crimes and all the horrible sins at tendant upon the prosecution of an un just and unnecessary war." Such were the sentiments expressed by the follow ers of Mr. Hendricks during the warmen who looked to him for counsel and advice. Could Mr. Hendricks have been the friend of Lincoln and per mitted such declarations by his party? Col. Gray has been heard from. He has been over in Grant county, where the Marion Chronicle says he had no reception, no serenade, no nothing. He created no enthusiasm and wasn't even decently treated by the Democracy. We are glad to hear he is safe somewhere. His mysterious silence led us to fear he had, like Cleveland, wandered off into some vast, illimitable wilderness. Hon. John F. Scanlan, of Chicago, will address the people of this city tomorrow evening. Mr. Scanlan is an able and eloquent speaker, and will discuss particularly the subject of American labor and its protection. An Experience la California. Exchange. A Nebraska girl has lately destroyed an other illusion concerning California. She went there, she acknowledges, with as idea obtained from newspapers that thert was a great preponderance of men ovef women, and that a girl could not be in the country longer than twenty -four hours without receiving an. offer" of marriage from some rich bachelor. In fact, thai every pretty girl held levees, in which th suitors took turns like the customers of a barber's shop. " I want to expose a fraud. she writes after a " stay of six months. There are more men here than women, but in my judgment they have run away from martial bonds elsewhere, and kavc come out here for a quiet, peaceful time, away from the pestiferous sex that ha caused their woes. A woman is of lest consequence here than anvwhere else in the world- The Chinese do most of th washing and housekeeping, and work at about the same waged that women and girls would find necessary.

HORRIBLE SEWS

Is What finely Says ef the ( barge of torn. In an interview at Portsmouth, Lieutenant Greely said as to the reports of a division in the expedition: "In reeard to the story of two factions, with Lieutenant Kislintrburv in charge tf the opposition, I will say that itig totally fale. having no foundation whatever. ( Trouble between Kislingbury and myself ' occurred in 1881, the first year of the expedition. He desired, to be relieved from duty, and I, not wishing to retain a man against his will, although I had the power so to do, gave him his liberty. It is my impression that he desired to return to the United States. He went Southward, but the Proteus was sunk and he returned to duty. I treated him as though nothing had hapened, and recently, when Lockwood died. 1 gave Kislingbury the second place in the expedition " "What do you say about the condition of Kislingbury's body?" asked the reporter. ' "I say that it is news, and horrible news to me, all these later disclosures, and the terrible eharges come upon me with awful suddenuess. I can truthfully say I have suffered more mental anguish these last few days than I did in all my sojourn at the north, when the chances were a hundred to one against me. I can but repeat, if there was any cannibalism, and there now seems to be no donbt about it, the man eating was done in secrecy, and entirely without my knowledge, and contrary to my discipline. I can give no stronger denial. I have demanded an investigation, and it will come in time, but I can say nothing more than I have already stated. All my papers and Kislingbury's diary, Lockwood s diary, and in fact every scrap of paper relating to the expedition, are in charge of the war department at Washington. "The crew of the Thetis can testify that the body of the last man that died (Snyder) was not mutilated in any way, and the fact that we kept Allison alive in the hopeless state we were in ought to convince any body that we are not cannibals. Since my return from Newburyport every one of my men has called upon me. They came in a body and assured me emphatically that they knew nothing about the condition ot the bodies of their fallen comrades, and each solemnly swore he was innocent. Perhaps those who died last ted upon the bodies of those who died before; but all this is supposition. I can but answer for myself and for my orders to the party. For days and weeks I lay on my back unable to move. If, in my enfeebled condition, one or more of my men fed upon human flesh, it was bevond my control, and certainly beyond mv knowledge. I know I have been criticised for not telegraphing the fact of the shooting of Henry as soon as I arrived at St. John's; but you must re member 1 was m a wretched condition of body and mind. I was in a quan dary whether I should be tried, for murder, as Henry was shot on my own responsibility, and not by order of a regular court-martial." yTo thp Editor of the'5alladiun i In vonr notice aJ the diease ot Uli ver Butler, one of ."the most important and best acts ot his lite was overlooked mist serving in tne itaoe senate he introduced and succeeded in placing on the statute books a law compelling every liquor seller to pay damagesesultingto his customers by the sale ot lritoxicants. This law was known by the name of the "Butler bill;" but like all other laws that have been enacted for the suppression or proper regulation of this monster evil, the Democratic party, by lesisla tive authority or the judiciary, either repealea or declared them unconstitutional, and substituted others more in accordance with the interest ot those engaged in the traffic. So much opposed has the Democratic party always been to any law that had a tendency to suppress this evil that they were driven into a mere technicality in order to prevent the submission to the people of a prohi bitory amendment, at a special election. to the constitution - and now that party is opposing the calling ot a constitutional convention, for fear the question of prohibition may be discussed therein and thus find its way into the organic law of the State. Your statement that Mr. Butler "became editor of the Palladium tempovm1xt " ia o Tniof oto FItiiti r. tTia tima Mr. Holloway occupied the position of bank examiner he was not editor ot the Palladium temporarily or otherwise. At the time Mr. B. was clerk in Mr. Holloway's book store and during Mr. H.'s absence on business alluded to, he did write several articles and some of them were published in the editorial columns just as other articles from his pen found their way there when Mr. H. was at home and whilst Mr. Butler was clerking for him. He was a "ready writer'' and his contributions were generally acceptable and were used as either Mr. II. or myself thought proper. Respectfully, Ben J. W. Davis. Indianapolis, Aug. 16, '84. -tlore 4kOdic" Forte, American Queen. A London weekly is responsible tithe report that there is a man in Par. who has discovered a secret, by nie:u; of which he can make any cage-bird set tie on a tree after a few minutes of mvs terious coaxing. To prove ht power over the feathered tribe the man in question recently drov, from one end of Paris to the other in an oaen carrL-e, in the center of which a small shrub was set up. Round about this shrub some dozen of canaries fluttered and hopped and chirped as hap pily as if they were uncontined. and yet with no more idea of making their escape than if they had been confined in the closest boundary of a cage. The miraculous bird-charmer is prepared at any time to take charge of a couple of trees in the Bo is de Boulogne, and to promise that they shall be inhabited by birds for any length of time, without the bird making the slightest attempt to quit their leafy prison.

COBB'S ISLAND SHOOTING.

Slaaghter mt Sen Bird for .tlllltnerr and Slercmntile Pnryom. Baltimore Sna. During a recent trip with the Orpheus Sailing club of Baltimore to the wellknown Cobb's i-land, the following' facts were ascertained, and created a very unpleasant impression: An enterprising woman from New York has contracted with a Paris millinery firm to deliver during the summer 40,000 or more skies of birds at 40 cents apiece. With several taxidermists she was carrying out the contract, having engaged young" and old to kill birds of duferent kinds, and paying them 10 cents for each specimen not too much mutilated for miJlintrv purpot es. The plumage of most of the birds to be obtained at this island is plain.but with theaiisLstaace of a little dye it is soon transformed itrto that of gayiy colored tropical birds. The birds comprised in this whoU sale sihutUut are ntsinly the different species of gulls and tarns, or ar-wallows. of which many species in large numbers could formerly be found upon this island But now only few of these graceful birds remain upon Cobb's island Itself, and the pot hunters, or rather skin-hunters, have to go some distance to carry out their cruel scheme. If we consider that with each old bird killed and only old birds have a suitable plumage also many of the young birds, still unable to take care of themselves, are doomed to starvation, this wholesale slaughter is more infamous and criminal. A good deal of dissatisfaction was shown by some of the" guests staying at the hoU-1 about this matter, but they did not do anything to prevent it. Some contended that no matter how many gulls and terns would be killed now there would 1 plenty uiore during the next season. Poor reasoning. Gulls. like all other birds, have certain places to build their nests and rear they young; furthermore, all gull9 go for this purpose only to such places where there were born, and consequently by killing both parents and young in one season none remain to return to their breeding places the following season. It is true, there will be plenty of gulls at the island during the late fall and winter; but these are only visitors of different species that nest further north, and which will return to their home with tha return of spring. The beautiful and peculiar black skimmer or cut-water, which formerly was only found in large uuniU.T upon the island, will soon be a rare Wrd in its old home. These black skipers are more social and move synchroii ously, which is not the case with any of the other terns. They feed chiefly in tht dusk of the evening, gliding and skim ming swiftly along just over the water; their bill is opened, the lower or undci mandible is in the water, and so they takt their food in a manner analogous to the feeding of whales. The practice of wearing stuffed birds as ornaments upon the hats of the ladies is a very cruel one, inflicting an endless amount of misery and pain upon innocent and beneficiAl birds, and such a practice ought to be discontinued. Why not start clubs, the lady members of which agreeing not to wear any stuffed birds themselves! Such clubs exist in Europe, and American ladies surely have as much feeling as ladie; elsewhere. Parts Sanitation. English Journal. At the present rather grave juncture a few facts respecting the sanitary arrangements of the iPreneh capital may prove ol interest, as shown in an able work, receutly issued, by L, Wazon. The total available supply of wafer is about 100,000,000, gal Ions, which, fir a population of between 2,250,000 and,500.000, he considers to be quite inadequate. Between IfTb and ls.sjl the number o inhabitants rose fj om 1.91W.VO0 to 2,24(J0O, ai which ratujuf increase it will be propably 2,oOU,UOU in lbJsti. I lie supply of water would then bealniut forty gallons per . head per aiem. l ms is a higher rropoytion than Londoners obtain, but is far mfenor to the supply of Mar. seilles, which has 180 gallons a head per day. Although the cesspool system still ex ists in the city, the commissioners pro posed in 1SS1 a temporary improvement in the use of metallic cesspools, containing from sixty to 200 feet cube, to lie emptied by the pressure of the air; but the cont ol emptying these weekly would be enormous, irrespective of the exponseof providing a cesspool receptacle. The amount ol household and street refuse per day it Paris is 2,000 cubic meters, or 54,000 cubi feet, which is removed by COO carts. The rate for this expenditure varies from 1 pence to 7 pence per lineal yard of build ing frontage, and in 1880 produced 104,001 pounds sterling, the whole cost of cleansing being 212,000 pounds sterling. All housein Paris are obliged to deliver the rain water aud household waste into the sewers, the municipality providing that even street less than sixty feet wide must hav one sewer, and that streets over tha width must have one sewer on each side o! the way. A Conple of Needed Coin. I. P. Noyes in Phrenological Journal. We should have a 20-eent piece Such a coin was tried and failed for tiu simple reason that while it met a practical want it was s15 formed as to becoin a nuisance. Let a 20-cent piece 1 made, formed in such a manner that ther will be no trouble about its being recognized in the dark as well as iu the light, and it will be a useful coin. This could be done by making it elliptical, octagonal, or square with rounded cor ners, or piercing it with a hole, after the manner of Chinese coin. The form is nol essential so long as some design of positive character is adopted that would be readily distinguished. It would be a ueful coin and might be called a "Shilling" five shillings to the dollar and this would dc away with the shilling of old, which hat different vaiues in different localities. The present 3-cent coin is also a very handy piece of money, but at present ii too much resembles the dime. It shoulc also be of some peculiar shape that woulc make it a strong contrast with the dime. A Term In I'nlveraal tVae. The Electrician.

THE FALL OF THE ALAMO. A Drier sketch of the Infamous 3!exieau fllassarre. The annals of war furnish no bloodier picture than is recorded of the fall of tho Alamo, on the 6th of .March, 1836. The monument that marks the ground that drank the blood of thoso heroes tells the story when it says: "Thermopylw had her mos.se ngers of death; the Alamo had none.'' The last one of the garrison went down under the violence of the Mexicans. Col. Bowie, who was sick in bod at the fall of the fort, fired from his bed until hid la-st shot was gone and he had a wall of dead about him; the Mexicans dared not approach, but shot him from a window, and as the enemy came to his bed, nerving himself for a last effort, tbe dying Bowie plunged the deadly knife which Dears his name to the vitals of the nearest foe, and expired. The gallant Col. Travis fell mortally wounded, but was able on the approach of the foe to .sit up. A Mexican officer attempted to cut off his head with a saber. Iravis with a death gasp, drew his sword which he plunged iutp the body of his antagonist, both dying at the same mo ment, Gen. Casrrillon took Col. Crockett; who stood aioue in an angle of the fort. the barrel of his own shattered gun in his right hand, in his left his huge bowie-knife, dripping blood. There was a fearful gash across his head, and at his feet a cordon of nearly twenty foemen. dead and dying. His captor, who was brave and not cruel, took his silvery-haired prisoner to Santa Anna. who new into a rage, and at his com mand a file of soldiers shot down the dauntless Crockett. Santa Anna had given the most imperative orders that no prisoners should be taken. A few davs afterwards Col. Fannin was in duced bv the most solemn promises on the part of Santa Anna to surrender his little band of beleagured men into the iands of the Alamo butchers, and, as a result, on March 23, 412 Texans wenied out at Goliad and shot down like dogs. It was through such deadly ceiias as these that a republic was born. John A. Sutter's Grave. -Gatu's" Pennsylvania Letter. T- I .

The seizure waa unexpected and terrible. The stomach and other organs aeemed to sympathize with It and to nave ion au power ol action, ror a long time my life was despaired of. but at lenirth I re covered so far as to be able to ride out. By tbe an vice of my physician I visited Poland Springs (Vt.), hoping to benefit from the waters. But ther did me no good. Neither were the beat physicians of Lowell and Boston, whom I eonsalted, able to afford me more than transient relief. I gained no strength, and my ease appeared almost hopeless. . Ia th Fall a friend advised me to try KEXTUDT'B FAVORITE REMF.DT, and although opposed to patent medieinea, I made the trial. To make a long story abort FAVORITE REMEDY, in my opinion, saved my life. I consider it the beat preparation in tbe world for stomach difficult! ea, as well aa of the Liverand other organs. I am glad to say it ia in general nae among the R. R. men In this vicinity.
